My thoughts …"Netted on the Net"

As soon as this Video where the so called Paragon of Propriety Arvind Kejriwal went viral, there were some die-hard supporters who defended & justified the conversation (expectedly). This post is not about what is the expose. In simple words, this only exposed that St. Kejriwal would go to any extent to appear morally correct when he is not.

Point that was conveniently forgotten by them is the Propriety of what happened. If the Interview was well intended, why would he want to dress it up, insisting on focussing and repeating certain part of his interview. It was for the viewers to arrive at a conclusion based on an unadulterated free-flowing interview. After this leak, we are not sure how much of original interview has been retained in the telecast version and what was edited.

For someone who preached Saintly Behaviour and nit picked on every one else sneeze and one who advocated impeccable public behaviour of leaders, this hoarse cough is inexplicable.

Arvind Kejriwal: That was a bit theoretical — that corporate one you were speaking about. I did not want to get into that as it was too theoretical. Because of it, middle class will go against us thinking that we are against privatisation, companies and so I was not willing to get into that debate. Ask everything else.

Punya Prasun Bajpai: And what about those 80% people that are left on the lurch?

Arvind Kejriwal: Will speak on that.

Punya Prasun Bajpai: Now you should come on this one. They are the real vote bank of the country.

Arvind Kejriwal: Exactly.

Punya Prasun Bajpai: Now we have to speak on this. I forgot to speak about this if we are doing for them.

Arvind Kejriwal: I don’t want to say that all the private companies are doing this….and whatever the government is, they take commission from these private companies. And we will ignore/avoid all the private sector, which is not right. Right?

Punya Prasun Bajpai: Very revolutionary, extremely revolutionary!

Arvind Kejriwal: Play that one more.

Punya Prasun Bajpai: Why not? That one will definitely play. I agree on the Bhagat Singh part. It will evoke a lot of reaction.
